IDF: Troops captured Syrian tanks, seized weapons cache at former Syrian army post

IDF troops captured several Syrian tanks during operations in southern Syria in recent days, the military says.

Four IDF brigade-level task forces under the 210th Bashan Regional Division are currently operating inside Syria, in the buffer zone between the countries and some cases slightly east of it.

The 474th Golan Regional Brigade captured the tanks during their scans of the buffer zone area. According to the IDF, the tanks were not in recent use.

Meanwhile, the IDF says the 810th “Mountains” Regional Brigade completed an operation on the Syrian side of Mount Hermon, during which the troops located and seized a cache of weapons at a former Syrian army post.

The final two brigades, the Paratroopers and Commando are carrying out defensive operations in the buffer zone area, the military adds.
